Most valuations give you one number. There are three different buyers, they use three different formulas, and for a solo practice they do not converge. This runs all three against the real dentist supply, ownership age and buyer pool within driving distance of your ZIP.
What is my dental practice worth? — the three buyer formulas in full, including the SBA debt-service ceiling that caps what any individual buyer can pay.
Consolidation isn't happening where you think it is — 138,194 practice locations counted across 26,149 markets, and why the oldest markets are the least consolidated.
An estimate built from your inputs and public data — not an appraisal, and not investment, tax or legal advice. Dentist supply and ownership vintage: CMS NPPES, counted across a catchment of at least five miles around your ZIP, widened until it holds a meaningful population; the radius used is shown with your results. "In practice since 2007 or earlier" is derived from NPPES enumeration date, which is a floor on career length, not an age. Income: ACS 2023 5‑year estimates. Shortage‑area status: HRSA dental HPSA file, reported for the ZIP — awards attach to an approved site, so verify any specific address with HRSA's HPSA Find tool. Multiples are market ranges, not quotes. A real offer turns on your chart base, payer mix, lease, equipment age, staff retention and the quality of your books.
